Definitions
- the present invention relates to a yeast extract that, through addition to a food, enhances a taste of the food.
- the sense of taste includes five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (savory). How good a food tastes is determined by a complex interplay of additional factors such as richness, aroma, texture, and the balance between them. In addition, factors increasing palatability vary for different foods. In dairy products such as butter and cream, a characteristic sense of body improves how good the food tastes, while in noodle sauce, ramen soup, and the like, the richness from the ingredients improves how good the food tastes. Therefore, in order to increase palatability in processed food and drink, the above-noted elements of taste must be incorporated in an appropriate balance. However, problems often arise.
- sweeteners used in food include carbohydrate sweeteners (such as naturally derived glucose and fructose) and high intensity sweeteners (such as aspartame and stevia).
- carbohydrate sweeteners have preferable taste quality, they are high in calories. There is thus a tendency in recent health consciousness to refrain from adding such sweeteners in situations requiring low calories or no calories. When an amount of the carbohydrate sweetener is reduced, the calories decrease, but a level of satisfaction with the taste suffers. Meanwhile, high intensity sweeteners need only be used in small amounts, and therefore are preferable in situations requiring low calories or no calories.
- high intensity sweeteners generally have problems in taste quality, such as associated astringency or sharpness, and often are not immediately substituted for carbohydrate sweeteners.
- Table salt sodium chloride
- Table salt sodium chloride
- Table salt is widely used as a basic seasoning when seasoning food.
- excessive consumption of salt is known to be linked to adult diseases such as high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attack.
- table salt is the backbone of flavor, foods with a reduced amount of salt (so-called reduced-sodium processed foods and drinks) are flawed by a level of satisfaction with food taste being reduced as well, due to insufficient salt.
- dairy products such as cheese and cream, which have a characteristic richness and signature body
- dairy products which have a characteristic richness and signature body
- savory processed items such as sauces made from cheese or cream, or in sweets such as cheesecake.
- sweets such as cheesecake.
- the characteristic richness and body derived from milk contribute greatly to how good the processed item tastes.
- the characteristic richness and body of milk is believed to derive mainly from milk fat, and dairy products having intense richness and body are typically highly satisfying, but are also high in calories.
- Patent Literature 1 For enhancing sweetness by adding a yeast extract to sweet foods.
- the yeast extract contains a savory element such as a 5'-nucleotide and may impart savoriness, which may be detected as a foreign taste, depending on an additive amount and a substance to which the yeast extract is added. Therefore, a substance capable of naturally enhancing sweetness continues to be sought.
- the sodium substitutes are substances which, of themselves, provide a salt flavor.
- Known examples include potassium salt, ammonium salt, magnesium salt, basic amino acid, and a peptide configured with a basic amino acid.
- potassium salt and magnesium salt are flawed by having a bitter taste in addition to the salt flavor, and have a characteristic aftertaste.
- a salt flavor-enhancing substance is a substance that cannot be substituted for table salt, but that reduces an amount of salt used and enables sodium reduction by enhancing the salt flavor of table salt.
- Examples include a peptide obtained by hydrolyzing a collagen having a molecular weight of 50,000 daltons or less (Patent Literature 2), a protein hydrolysate of various protein substances (Patent Literature 3), and the like.
- Patent Literature 2 a peptide obtained by hydrolyzing a collagen having a molecular weight of 50,000 daltons or less
- Patent Literature 3 a protein hydrolysate of various protein substances
- a reduced-sodium technique meeting consumer need continues to be sought.
- methods using a table salt substitute and methods using a salt flavor enhancer have been proposed in large numbers as a method for reduced sodium.
- no method for reduced sodium has yet been discovered that can meet criteria of palatability, effect, economy, safety, and the like.
- a method for reduced sodium resolving the above-noted problems continues to be strongly desired.
- Patent Literature 4 discloses that heating and then drying dextrin and a yeast extract has an effect of imparting milkiness.
- Patent Literature 5 discloses a method for obtaining a seasoning for a dairy product by inducing a thermal reaction in a fruit juice and a yeast extract. However, these methods require a complex step of inducing a thermal reaction in dextrin, fruit juice, or the like and the yeast extract.
- Patent Literature 6 discloses a method for imparting richness to a food using a yeast extract.
- the yeast extract disclosed in the reference cannot be said to have a satisfactory effect of imparting richness to a dairy product and, when added in an amount sufficient to impart richness, the yeast extract contains a large amount of free amino acids. There is therefore a problem of a striking savory flavor that is detected as a foreign taste.
- a step is required in which protease processing is further performed following extraction from yeast cell bodies.
- sourness determines how good a food tastes.
- Foods having a sour flavor are typically widespread throughout the world, and how good those foods taste is greatly influenced by a quality of the sourness.
- a sharp, intense sourness tends to be sought for dressings and ponzu, and in foods using fruit juice such as juice from a lemon or kabosu , a sense of the fruit juice used is another element in how good the food tastes.
- methods have been investigated for enhancing the sense of a fruit juice, or the sourness of a food having a sour flavor.
- Patent Literature 7 discloses a method for enhancing sourness and the sense of a fruit juice by enhancing a top note of a food using prenyl ethyl ether.
- Patent Literature 8 discloses a method for enhancing a flavor of a fruit juice using a yeast extract.
- a fragrance an active ingredient in enhancing sourness
- the method according to Patent Literature 8 is a method for enhancing the flavor of a citrus fruit juice using the yeast extract.
- no description is given of enhancing sourness.
- a problem to be solved is to naturally enhance a taste and improve a level of satisfaction without imparting a foreign taste to common processed food and drink, and without increasing calories or sodium content.
- a substance added to the common processed food and drink is preferably a common foodstuff, and preferably has a high degree of safety.
- the inventors of the present invention have discovered that adding a yeast extract having a specific composition has an effect of enhancing sweetness, saltiness, sourness, richness, and milk body, depending on a food to which the yeast extract is added, without greatly affecting taste quality.
- the present invention relates to:
- yeast extract which is a common foodstuff
- various kinds of tastes can be enhanced, depending on the food, without imparting a foreign flavor.
- sweetness derived from carbohydrate sweeteners such as glucose and fructose
- sugar alcohols such as xylitol
- high intensity sweeteners such as aspartame and stevia
- Saltiness can be enhanced for common processed food and drink, including reduced sodium processed food and drink.
- dairy products the richness and body of milk can be enhanced.
- sour foods sourness can be enhanced.
- the richness in common processed food and drink can be enhanced.
- Common processed food and drink having taste enhanced in this way deliver a fully satisfying flavor even with low sugar, low fat, and low sodium, and therefore contribute to the health of a person consuming the food and drink, and also to reducing costs.
- the yeast extract is a common foodstuff and has a low allergenic quality, and is therefore a highly safe taste-enhancing agent.
- a yeast extract according to the present invention contains 5 wt% or more of a peptide, preferably 10 wt% or more of the peptide, and more preferably 16 wt% or more of the peptide; contains 5 wt% or more of RNA, preferably 10 wt% or more of RNA, and more preferably 25 wt% or more of RNA; and contains 4 wt% or less of free amino acids, and more preferably 2 wt% or less of the free amino acids.
- a yeast extract having a composition other than this either has a deficient taste-enhancing effect on processed food and drink or affects taste quality, and is therefore not preferred. More preferably, in addition to the above-noted conditions, the yeast extract contains 15 wt% or more of dietary fiber.
- the yeast extract used in the present invention is extracted from yeast cell bodies preferably containing 6.5% or more of RNA.
- a method of increasing an amount of RNA contained in the yeast cell bodies is publicly known and is, for example, recited in Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. S52-90684 , Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 11-196859 , and Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 2009-207464 .
- an extract obtained by deactivating enzymes within the yeast cell bodies using hot water and, thereafter, adding a cell wall lytic enzyme can be produced through condensation, pasteurization, and drying.
- a nucleolytic enzyme or a protease act on the extract, RNA content and peptide content are unlikely to reach a specified amount, and therefore this is not preferred.
- concentration may be performed with a known method, while in a case where there are excessive free amino acids in the yeast extract, the free amino acids may be removed with a known purification method.
- the yeast extract obtained in this way enhances taste when added to food and drink, and the yeast extract has no intrinsic sweetness, saltiness, sourness, savoriness, milk body, or richness.
- Examples of the yeast used in producing the yeast extract of this kind include baker's yeast, brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and Torula yeast (Candida utilis). Use of Torula yeast is preferred, the Torula yeast generally containing the highest amount of RNA among these yeasts.
- the peptide of the present invention refers to two or more amino acids having a peptide bond.
- the peptide content is calculated by subtracting the amount of free amino acids from a total amount of amino acids.
- Examples of the common processed food and drink that can be used with the present invention include sweets such as chocolate, ice cream, pudding, syrup, pastry cream, cream, and cookies; condiments such as miso, soy sauce, broth, gravy, sauce, dressing, and mayonnaise; dairy products such as low-fat milk, dairy cream, powdered fat-free milk, processed cheese, butter, gratin, and white sauce; meat products such as ham and sausage; seafood products such as kamaboko fish cake and fish sausage; agricultural products such as pickles and soy sauce pickles; and various foods such as soup, meat extract, seafood extract, and fruit juice.
- sweets such as chocolate, ice cream, pudding, syrup, pastry cream, cream, and cookies
- condiments such as miso, soy sauce, broth, gravy, sauce, dressing, and mayonnaise
- dairy products such as low-fat milk, dairy cream, powdered fat-free milk, processed cheese, butter, gratin, and white sauce
- meat products such as ham and sausage
- seafood products such as kamaboko fish
- An amount of yeast extract added to the processed food and drink is commonly 0.01 to 5 wt%, is preferably 0.03 to 1 wt%, and is more preferably 0.05 to 0.3 wt%. When in this range, the taste of the processed food and drink can be naturally enhanced. When an additive amount is less than 0.01%, the taste-enhancing effect is difficult to distinguish, and when the processed food and drink contain more than 5%, the inherent flavor of the yeast extract becomes noticeable and is also not preferred in terms of cost.
- a yeast extract sample dissolved in a 0.02 N HCl was used as a measurement sample.
- the sample was measured using an amino acid analyzer (Hitachi high-speed amino acid analyzer L-8900).
- a yeast extract sample was dissolved in a 6 N HCl then left to stand at 110°C for 24 hours to hydrolyze. A portion of the sample was diluted in a 0.02 N HCl and used as a total amino acid measurement sample. The sample was measured using an amino acid analyzer (Hitachi high-speed amino acid analyzer L-8900).
- a peptide content is calculated by subtracting the free amino acid content from the total amino acid content.
- a yeast extract sample dissolved in superpure water was used as a measurement sample, then a measurement was conducted using an HPLC method.
- An Asahipak HPLC column GS-320H was used as a column, and 0.1 M of a sodium phosphate buffer was used as an eluent.
- a detection wavelength was set to 260 nm.
- a sensory analysis of food taste was conducted with five panelists for a working example sample and a comparative example sample. Intensity of sweetness, saltiness, sourness, richness, and milk body was evaluated in comparison to the taste of a control sample.
- yeast extract 1 contained 18.7 wt% of peptide, 30.4 wt% of RNA, 0.5 wt% of free amino acid, and 22.7 wt% of dietary fiber.
- the yeast extract 1 (peptide content 18.7 wt%; RNA content 30.4 wt%; free amino acid content 0.5 wt%; dietary fiber content 22.7 wt%) and commercially available chocolate were added at composition ratios shown in Table 1, then were dissolved in a double boiler and re-hardened. This was then used as a sample for evaluation.
- Comparative example 1 was conducted in the same manner as working example 1, except that a yeast extract 2 (peptide content 22.09 wt%; RNA content 0.00 wt%; free amino acid content 1.26wt%; dietary fiber content 33.3 wt%) was used instead of the yeast extract 1 in working example 1.
- a yeast extract 2 peptide content 22.09 wt%; RNA content 0.00 wt%; free amino acid content 1.26wt%; dietary fiber content 33.3 wt% was used instead of the yeast extract 1 in working example 1.
- Comparative example 2 was conducted in the same manner as working example 1, except that a yeast extract 3 (peptide content 24.41 wt%; RNA content 11.23 wt%; free amino acid content 4.9 wt%) was used instead of the yeast extract 1 in working example 1.
- a yeast extract 3 peptide content 24.41 wt%; RNA content 11.23 wt%; free amino acid content 4.9 wt% was used instead of the yeast extract 1 in working example 1.
- a control chocolate sample was produced in the same manner as working example 1, except that the yeast extract 1 was not added to the composition of working example 1.
- Table 1 Name of Ingredient Control Working Example 1 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Chocolate 100.0g 100.0g 100.0g 100.0g Yeast Extract 1 - 0.3g - - Yeast Extract 2 - - 0.3g - Yeast Extract 3 - - - 0.3g Total 100.0g 100.3g 100.3g 100.3g 100.3g 100.3g 100.3g 100.3g 100.3g

- the present invention by adding the yeast extract to common processed food and drink of any flavor, sweetness, sourness, saltiness, and milk body and richness can be enhanced, depending on the processed food and drink to which the yeast extract is added, without imparting a taste that is out of place, and a volume of overall flavor can be improved. Therefore, the present invention can be favorably used not only in the common processed food and drink, but also, for example, in health foods claiming to be low in calories, sodium, and fat.
Description
- The present invention relates to a yeast extract that, through addition to a food, enhances a taste of the food.
- The sense of taste includes five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (savory). How good a food tastes is determined by a complex interplay of additional factors such as richness, aroma, texture, and the balance between them. In addition, factors increasing palatability vary for different foods. In dairy products such as butter and cream, a characteristic sense of body improves how good the food tastes, while in noodle sauce, ramen soup, and the like, the richness from the ingredients improves how good the food tastes. Therefore, in order to increase palatability in processed food and drink, the above-noted elements of taste must be incorporated in an appropriate balance. However, problems often arise.
- For example, sweeteners used in food include carbohydrate sweeteners (such as naturally derived glucose and fructose) and high intensity sweeteners (such as aspartame and stevia). However, although carbohydrate sweeteners have preferable taste quality, they are high in calories. There is thus a tendency in recent health consciousness to refrain from adding such sweeteners in situations requiring low calories or no calories. When an amount of the carbohydrate sweetener is reduced, the calories decrease, but a level of satisfaction with the taste suffers. Meanwhile, high intensity sweeteners need only be used in small amounts, and therefore are preferable in situations requiring low calories or no calories. However, high intensity sweeteners generally have problems in taste quality, such as associated astringency or sharpness, and often are not immediately substituted for carbohydrate sweeteners.
- Table salt (sodium chloride) is widely used as a basic seasoning when seasoning food. However, excessive consumption of salt is known to be linked to adult diseases such as high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attack. Due to health consciousness in recent years, many low-sodium processed foods and drinks have been proposed and commercialized. However, because table salt is the backbone of flavor, foods with a reduced amount of salt (so-called reduced-sodium processed foods and drinks) are flawed by a level of satisfaction with food taste being reduced as well, due to insufficient salt.
- Moreover, dairy products such as cheese and cream, which have a characteristic richness and signature body, are consumed by themselves and are used in savory processed items such as sauces made from cheese or cream, or in sweets such as cheesecake. Even in such processed items, the characteristic richness and body derived from milk contribute greatly to how good the processed item tastes. The characteristic richness and body of milk is believed to derive mainly from milk fat, and dairy products having intense richness and body are typically highly satisfying, but are also high in calories.
- Thus, using a large amount of carbohydrate sweetener, table salt, or dairy product in an attempt to improve the flavor of a food causes problems on a cost front and on a health front. And when instead a small amount of these additives is used or an attempt is made to supplement with alternatives, a satisfying flavor quality cannot be obtained. Due to the health consciousness of recent years, interest in low-calorie, low-sodium foods has increased and a method has been sought for enhancing a taste of these foods and increasing a consumer's level of satisfaction.
- In order to resolve these problems, various methods have been considered. With respect to sweetness, a method has been published in Patent Literature 1 for enhancing sweetness by adding a yeast extract to sweet foods. However, the yeast extract contains a savory element such as a 5'-nucleotide and may impart savoriness, which may be detected as a foreign taste, depending on an additive amount and a substance to which the yeast extract is added. Therefore, a substance capable of naturally enhancing sweetness continues to be sought.
- To date, various sodium substitutes and saltiness-enhancing substances have been proposed in order to supplement reduced-sodium foods. The sodium substitutes are substances which, of themselves, provide a salt flavor. Known examples include potassium salt, ammonium salt, magnesium salt, basic amino acid, and a peptide configured with a basic amino acid. However, potassium salt and magnesium salt are flawed by having a bitter taste in addition to the salt flavor, and have a characteristic aftertaste. A salt flavor-enhancing substance is a substance that cannot be substituted for table salt, but that reduces an amount of salt used and enables sodium reduction by enhancing the salt flavor of table salt. Examples include a peptide obtained by hydrolyzing a collagen having a molecular weight of 50,000 daltons or less (Patent Literature 2), a protein hydrolysate of various protein substances (Patent Literature 3), and the like. However, even these have a low intensity of saltiness, may produce chloropropanols (which are carcinogenic substances) due to protein hydrolysis, and the like, and thus a reduced-sodium technique meeting consumer need continues to be sought. In this way, methods using a table salt substitute and methods using a salt flavor enhancer have been proposed in large numbers as a method for reduced sodium. However, no method for reduced sodium has yet been discovered that can meet criteria of palatability, effect, economy, safety, and the like. A method for reduced sodium resolving the above-noted problems continues to be strongly desired.
- With regard to dairy products, various seasonings have been discovered that use a yeast extract. Patent Literature 4 discloses that heating and then drying dextrin and a yeast extract has an effect of imparting milkiness. Further, Patent Literature 5 discloses a method for obtaining a seasoning for a dairy product by inducing a thermal reaction in a fruit juice and a yeast extract. However, these methods require a complex step of inducing a thermal reaction in dextrin, fruit juice, or the like and the yeast extract. Patent Literature 6 discloses a method for imparting richness to a food using a yeast extract. However, the yeast extract disclosed in the reference cannot be said to have a satisfactory effect of imparting richness to a dairy product and, when added in an amount sufficient to impart richness, the yeast extract contains a large amount of free amino acids. There is therefore a problem of a striking savory flavor that is detected as a foreign taste. In addition, in order to obtain the yeast extract, a step is required in which protease processing is further performed following extraction from yeast cell bodies.
- Meanwhile, there are also cases where sourness determines how good a food tastes. Foods having a sour flavor are typically widespread throughout the world, and how good those foods taste is greatly influenced by a quality of the sourness. In particular, a sharp, intense sourness tends to be sought for dressings and ponzu, and in foods using fruit juice such as juice from a lemon or kabosu, a sense of the fruit juice used is another element in how good the food tastes. To date, methods have been investigated for enhancing the sense of a fruit juice, or the sourness of a food having a sour flavor. Patent Literature 7 discloses a method for enhancing sourness and the sense of a fruit juice by enhancing a top note of a food using prenyl ethyl ether. Patent Literature 8 discloses a method for enhancing a flavor of a fruit juice using a yeast extract. However, in the method according to Patent Literature 7, a fragrance (an active ingredient in enhancing sourness) is obtained by being highly purified from a chemical composition which is a food additive, or from a natural substance, and is expensive. The method according to Patent Literature 8 is a method for enhancing the flavor of a citrus fruit juice using the yeast extract. However, no description is given of enhancing sourness.
- Moreover, richness, which is not classified in the five basic tastes, is an important element influencing how good a food tastes. Therefore, various methods have been considered for enhancing the richness within a food. One known example of a substance having a richness-imparting effect is a yeast extract, such as in Patent Literature 9 and Patent Literature 10. However, these methods use a taste of the yeast extract itself to impart richness to the food and have the problem that, depending on the food to which the yeast extract is added or on an amount of yeast extract added, the flavor of the yeast extract is often detected as a foreign taste.
- In this way, although investigations have been conducted into methods for enhancing various tastes of food, a taste-enhancing method that improves a level of consumer satisfaction is still desired.

2005-245438 - A problem to be solved is to naturally enhance a taste and improve a level of satisfaction without imparting a foreign taste to common processed food and drink, and without increasing calories or sodium content. In such a case, a substance added to the common processed food and drink is preferably a common foodstuff, and preferably has a high degree of safety.
- As a result of thorough research to resolve the above-noted problems, the inventors of the present invention have discovered that adding a yeast extract having a specific composition has an effect of enhancing sweetness, saltiness, sourness, richness, and milk body, depending on a food to which the yeast extract is added, without greatly affecting taste quality. Specifically, the present invention relates to:
- (1) A yeast extract containing 5 wt% or more of a peptide, 5 wt% or more of RNA, and 4 wt% or less of free amino acids;
- (2) A yeast extract according to (1), wherein the yeast extract contains 15 wt% or more of dietary fiber; and
- (3) Use of the yeast extract according to (1) or (2) in a method of enhancing a taste of food, wherein the yeast extract is added to a food.
- According to the present invention, simply by adding a small amount of yeast extract, which is a common foodstuff, to common processed food and drink, various kinds of tastes can be enhanced, depending on the food, without imparting a foreign flavor. Specifically, with regard to sweet food, sweetness derived from carbohydrate sweeteners (such as glucose and fructose), sugar alcohols (such as xylitol), and high intensity sweeteners (such as aspartame and stevia) can be enhanced. Saltiness can be enhanced for common processed food and drink, including reduced sodium processed food and drink. With regard to dairy products, the richness and body of milk can be enhanced. With regard to sour foods, sourness can be enhanced. Moreover, the richness in common processed food and drink can be enhanced. Common processed food and drink having taste enhanced in this way deliver a fully satisfying flavor even with low sugar, low fat, and low sodium, and therefore contribute to the health of a person consuming the food and drink, and also to reducing costs.
- The yeast extract is a common foodstuff and has a low allergenic quality, and is therefore a highly safe taste-enhancing agent.
- A detailed description of the present invention is given below.
- A yeast extract according to the present invention contains 5 wt% or more of a peptide, preferably 10 wt% or more of the peptide, and more preferably 16 wt% or more of the peptide; contains 5 wt% or more of RNA, preferably 10 wt% or more of RNA, and more preferably 25 wt% or more of RNA; and contains 4 wt% or less of free amino acids, and more preferably 2 wt% or less of the free amino acids. A yeast extract having a composition other than this either has a deficient taste-enhancing effect on processed food and drink or affects taste quality, and is therefore not preferred. More preferably, in addition to the above-noted conditions, the yeast extract contains 15 wt% or more of dietary fiber.
- The yeast extract used in the present invention is extracted from yeast cell bodies preferably containing 6.5% or more of RNA.
- A method of increasing an amount of RNA contained in the yeast cell bodies is publicly known and is, for example, recited in Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No.
S52-90684 11-196859 2009-207464 - After cultivation, harvesting, and cleaning of such yeast cell bodies, an extract obtained by deactivating enzymes within the yeast cell bodies using hot water and, thereafter, adding a cell wall lytic enzyme can be produced through condensation, pasteurization, and drying. When a nucleolytic enzyme or a protease act on the extract, RNA content and peptide content are unlikely to reach a specified amount, and therefore this is not preferred.
- In a case where the RNA content and peptide content in the yeast extract do not reach the specified amount, concentration may be performed with a known method, while in a case where there are excessive free amino acids in the yeast extract, the free amino acids may be removed with a known purification method.
- The yeast extract obtained in this way enhances taste when added to food and drink, and the yeast extract has no intrinsic sweetness, saltiness, sourness, savoriness, milk body, or richness.
- Examples of the yeast used in producing the yeast extract of this kind include baker's yeast, brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and Torula yeast (Candida utilis). Use of Torula yeast is preferred, the Torula yeast generally containing the highest amount of RNA among these yeasts.
- Moreover, the peptide of the present invention refers to two or more amino acids having a peptide bond. The peptide content is calculated by subtracting the amount of free amino acids from a total amount of amino acids.
- Examples of the common processed food and drink that can be used with the present invention include sweets such as chocolate, ice cream, pudding, syrup, pastry cream, cream, and cookies; condiments such as miso, soy sauce, broth, gravy, sauce, dressing, and mayonnaise; dairy products such as low-fat milk, dairy cream, powdered fat-free milk, processed cheese, butter, gratin, and white sauce; meat products such as ham and sausage; seafood products such as kamaboko fish cake and fish sausage; agricultural products such as pickles and soy sauce pickles; and various foods such as soup, meat extract, seafood extract, and fruit juice.
- An amount of yeast extract added to the processed food and drink is commonly 0.01 to 5 wt%, is preferably 0.03 to 1 wt%, and is more preferably 0.05 to 0.3 wt%. When in this range, the taste of the processed food and drink can be naturally enhanced. When an additive amount is less than 0.01%, the taste-enhancing effect is difficult to distinguish, and when the processed food and drink contain more than 5%, the inherent flavor of the yeast extract becomes noticeable and is also not preferred in terms of cost.
- The present invention is described in detail in working examples below. The present invention, however, is not limited to the following embodiments.
- Various measurement methods and testing methods in the working examples are as follows:
- A yeast extract sample dissolved in a 0.02 N HCl was used as a measurement sample. The sample was measured using an amino acid analyzer (Hitachi high-speed amino acid analyzer L-8900).
- A yeast extract sample was dissolved in a 6 N HCl then left to stand at 110°C for 24 hours to hydrolyze. A portion of the sample was diluted in a 0.02 N HCl and used as a total amino acid measurement sample. The sample was measured using an amino acid analyzer (Hitachi high-speed amino acid analyzer L-8900).
- A peptide content is calculated by subtracting the free amino acid content from the total amino acid content.
- A yeast extract sample dissolved in superpure water was used as a measurement sample, then a measurement was conducted using an HPLC method. An Asahipak HPLC column GS-320H was used as a column, and 0.1 M of a sodium phosphate buffer was used as an eluent. A detection wavelength was set to 260 nm.
- Measurement was conducted at the Japan Food Research Laboratories using an enzymatic-gravimetric method.
- A sensory analysis of food taste was conducted with five panelists for a working example sample and a comparative example sample. Intensity of sweetness, saltiness, sourness, richness, and milk body was evaluated in comparison to the taste of a control sample.
- Using a 10 N sulfuric acid, 1000 ml of a 10% cell body suspension of Candida utilis CS 7529 strain (FERM BP-1656) was adjusted to a pH of 3.5, then was subjected to a heat treatment at 60°C for 30 minutes, after which the cell bodies were collected via centrifugal separation and cleaned with water to remove the sulfuric acid and superfluous extracts. After the cell bodies were adjusted to a cell body concentration of 10% and suspended using water, a heat treatment was performed at 90°C for 30 minutes; enzymes within the cell bodies were completely deactivated; the suspension was adjusted to 40°C and a pH of 7.0; 0.5g of a cell wall lytic enzyme ("Tunicase," manufactured by Daiwa kasei) was added thereto to react for four hours; and the extract was extracted. Cell body residue was removed by centrifugal separation, then a supernatant fluid thus obtained was condensed and spray-dried to obtain 30g of yeast extract powder. The obtained yeast extract (hereafter referred to as "yeast extract 1") contained 18.7 wt% of peptide, 30.4 wt% of RNA, 0.5 wt% of free amino acid, and 22.7 wt% of dietary fiber. By adding the obtained yeast extract to common processed food, the taste of the food can be enhanced.
